Method

  1. In a wide pan, brown the chicken, cut in bite-size pieces, in the oil over medium-high heat 3 minutes and lift it out. Soften the onion in the same pan for 4 minutes, adding the garlic for the last one.
  2. Add the rice and stir a minute, until glassy at the edge, pour in the wine and let it disappear. Then add the hot broth a ladle at a time, stirring, for about 18 minutes, until the rice is tender with a slight bite.
  3. Return the chicken for the last 5 minutes, to 165°F (74°C). Off the heat, beat in the yogurt and Parmesan hard. Taste and salt if needed, and add the parsley at the table.
Chef’s tipBeat it off the heat. Thirty seconds of hard stirring away from the flame releases the starch and stops the yogurt splitting. Both at once.
Make it twoDoubles in a wide pan. Risotto does not keep well; if you must, spread it thin to cool and reheat with broth.
